Answer: you have to see how many gallons fill the container per minute, so take 3/4 and divide it by 1/5, which gives 15/4. So he multiplied the two numbers instead of dividing.

Answer:

\frac{15}{4} gallon per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of gallon = \frac{3}{4} gallon

Time taken  = \frac{1}{5} min

Unknown:

The solution is \frac{3}{20} gallon per minute, what did he do wrong = ?

Solution:

To find the rate:

   Rate  = \frac{Quantity of gallon}{time }

 Input the parameters and solve

  Rate  = \frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{1}{5} }   = \frac{3}{4}  ÷ \frac{1}{5}

                       Invert the \frac{1}{5}  to give 5

                  =  \frac{3}{4} x 5

                  = \frac{15}{4} gallon per minute

The student failed to invert the \frac{1}{5} before multiplying with  \frac{3}{4}

A. Nancy has the greatest spread because her longest training time was 105 and her shortest being 82, making the spread 23, and Peter’s spread is only... Longest: 112 Shortest: 92 making it 20!
b. Nancy. Middle %50 would be Peter’s 110-92 making the spread 18, and Nancy’s spread is 93-90 making the spread making it 12
c. The spreads tell us they are very close to each other, and just Peter has more time but a less spread than Nancy.

Mr brown shares with the class that 70%of the students got a A on the English vocabulary quiz if mr brown has 100 students creat
Harrizon [31]
70% of 100 is 70 students. Unfortunately I can not make a model for you but here's an idea: Draw a large circle. Next, draw a line halfway down the circle, and halfwar down draw another line to the right, this making it look like three fourths. Then, color the larger space in one color and the other smaller space that looks like a small slice of pie in another color. On the larger piece write "70% who got an A" and on the smaller write "30% who didn't get an A" At the bottom you can write 70 students out of 100 got an A on the test.
